We have two other trailers in the family the Camaros fit on just fine, one is a steel deck (~1900lbs) and a wood deck (1600lbs).
The Cayenne tows the Camaro great on either setup (electric brakes on both). Most people are surprised to see a Porsche towing a Camaro. They’re more surprised when I tell them the Cayenne S is factory rated for 7700lbs towing capacity. I’ve towed to Watkins Glen 2x now, 2700 mile round trip, and VIR 2x, 2500 mile round trip, and Mid Ohio 4x 1,000 mile round trip.
I am in the market for a used 3/4 ton though gor next season. A good friend and I are going to race his S2000 in some enduros, and need to be able to pull his 28” enclosed trailer... the Cayenne ain’t up for that!

Haha, funny how things pan out. I had a smaller wood trailer for my E46, then upgraded to the aluminum one. The ram towed the E46 just fine, and does it's job well with the Camaro. the longest I have towed was to barber and back, bout 1600 miles round trip. I would love a bit more stability.
I would 100% look into those Titan XD's - they fill a unique gap between a 1/2 and 3/4 ton. Towing is well over 10k, but doesn't ride like a 3/4 ton. Wheelbase is much longer than a standard 1/2 ton as well. I would say it would be equivalent to "light duty heavy duty" haha. You can find a solid certified one for 28-32k. Worth a look.
